"File-sharing site The Pirate Bay must be blocked by UK internet service providers, the High Court has ruled. The Swedish website hosts links to download mostly-pirated free music and video. Sky, Everything Everywhere, TalkTalk, O2 and Virgin Media must all prevent their users from accessing the site." Because, as we all know, protecting failing and outdated business models is more important than upholding stodgy old and annoying concepts like 'freedom of speech'. Repeat after me: we live in the free world, not China. Maybe if we say it often enough, we'll start believing it.

You go too far in the other direction. First of all, "evil" is a ridiculous word to use for an economic system. Secondly, capitalism can easily become even more "evil" (to use your word). The current U.S. patent system is a good case in point. It has been completely "bought". This happened when Bush ordered that the USPTO had to operate at a profit. The free-market is a great thing, and we need more of it. But don't tote it around like a religion. It has it's limitations too.
